[Husker] 3 point underdog against Michigan

[Jon Johnston]

Everyone has trouble with mobile quarterbacks, not just Nebraska. That's why the dual-threat ones are so desirable. 

I think we'll play Martinez much the same way Michigan State did. We'll have to apply pressure, force him into mistakes. I don't think he's matured as well as Martinez has, frankly, and under pressure his passing can be pretty bad. 

Other key - Michigan's defense has been much better this season, but we have no idea if they can defend against the option. That'll be interesting.
